NEW YORK -- The Milwaukee Brewers got a quick start on the second half, picking up a big-time closer.

The NL Central co-leaders acquired former All-Star reliever Francisco Rodriguez from the New York Mets on Tuesday night, boosting the Brewers' bullpen for a second-half run at the playoffs.

The trade was announced only a half-hour after the All-Star Game, with the Mets sending K-Rod and cash to Milwaukee for two players to be named.

Milwaukee is going all in this season. They have a really good team. Probably just need an upgrade at the SS spot, and then they'll be one of the league's best.

The whole left side of the infield needs an upgrade.

Hope this move pays off for the Brewers.

I agree the left side of the infield needs an upgrade.
